AE is grabbing an unimported file and playing it every other frame

Ive been working on an illustrator comp in AE CS3 with no problems until i increased the project length past one frame. I interpreted the footage to loop so i could animate with it, only to find that AE is playing a file that i never once imported, every other frame. Its those colored tv bars with a black sign in the upper left with the name of a pdf file that was sitting in the same folder as my comp. Not only that but its playing extremely slow.
I removed the offending pdf, created a new project and brought the original illustrator comp in to see if it would still appear and its gone, but now i have no way i getting my project back and no idea if this is going to happen again.

Sounds like you may have imported the Illustrator document and the PDF as an image sequence, rather than as individual images. Did they have sequential names?
In your original (problematic) comp, replace the original file with the Illustrator document, but ensure the "Image Sequence" checkbox is not checked in the import dialog box.

How to read a text file and only output every other line?

I am just writing a program that reads a file but outputs only every other line. Any ideas...please? thanks

I'd start with something like this and expand on it as you go:
File file = <whatever>;
BufferedReader in = null;
try {
    in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
    int i = -1;
    for (String line = null; (line = in.readLine()) != null; ) {
        if ((++i % 2) == 0) {
            System.out.println(line);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
    if (in != null) {
        try {
            in.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
}Shaun

Using a container to load several swf files and play them

I need some help. I want to use several swf files and have them be called upon in a container file and play them in sequence. It's a presentation that needs to play thru but still have the ability to stop, click on items, open a popup and then continue on in the presentation. I am building all the individual "chapters" and their "sub-chapters" as swf files, with the hope that I can load them in order. I am relatively new to AS3. Help?

If you will be loading swf files into a container then you will use the Loader class to accomplish that, so give that a looking over in the help documents and see what you can do. If you have a problem getting it to work, post your code and describe what you have done.

Simultaneous Recording in file and playing incoming rtp stream

I want to Simultaneous Recording in file and playing incoming rtp stream.I have cloned the data source. After cloning I created two data sinks and two processors.One processor/datasink is meant for recording the stream in a file and other processor/data sink is used to play the rtp through speaker.
But at a time I am only able to achieve one operation i.e either recording or playing.For recording into the wav file I have to put Thread.sleep(30) so that I can record the rtp into the file.During this time I am not able to play the audio through speaker.I also create separate thread but this does not help.
Please give suggestion on how to resolve this issue.

thanks for the reply, but I think I've already solved the problem.

I have backed up my iPad using iTunes to windows 8 Lenora laptop but I could not find my files and play video files in my laptop.

You cannot access files in the backup on your computer.
Do you mean that you synced with iTunes and transferred your purchased videos and app documents? If that is what you mean, what videos are you talking about? If they are videos that you took with the iPad, they do not sync to iTunes. What files?
What exactly are you trying to do? Details please.

How to queue movie files to play after each other?

Hi,
I have home movies that I want to watch continually. I'm sick and tired of clicking on each file and playing it. I'd like to queue a selection of movies and just let them run one after another.
HOW do I do this? Help please!!
Thanks,
Chris.

A web search hasn't revealed any immediate obvious answers, suggesting queueing is not a feature QT (maybe different in the Windows version).
I am only familiar with the cumbersome method as outlined in [http://www.ehow.com/how4453086present-multiple-movies-same-quicktime.html] where you copy (if only temporarily) multiple movies into one long movie.
Use something like http://niceplayer.net/ , or as I said, iTunes should be able to do this in a playlist since it is the .mov format.

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

I am trying to export the PDF file and conversion fails every time.

I am trying to export the PDF file and conversion fails every time. File is too large of too complex. What do I do? One file is about 55 mb and the other is 58 mb.

Try extracting part of the file and see if the extracted part can be Exported. If so, repeat with the next set of pages. When done, try to load all into the first file.

How to export HD files and play them on Western Digital HD Media PLayer?

Hi Folks,
I'd need your help here. I shoot HD video in AVCHD with Canon HF200.
My goal is to be able to export my edited footage with minimum quality loss and be able to play it on the well known Western Digital HD Media Player:
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=735
The player supports the following formats for video:
Video - AVI (Xvid, AVC, MPEG1/2/4), MPG/MPEG, VOB, MKV (h.264, x.264, AVC, MPEG1/2/4, VC-1), TS/TP/M2T (MPEG1/2/4, AVC, VC-1), MP4/MOV (MPEG4, h.264), M2TS, WMV9
Here is what I do:
1. I convert the avchd files into .avi using Cineform Prospect HD.
2. Then I import and edit the footage in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
3. Finally I export the edited footage using the ' BD-h.264 ' codec in the 'Adobe Media Encoder'
4. I end up with two files after the export: .M4V file (video) and .WAV file (sound).
The WD HD Media Player plays 'black' screen while displaying a message 'no audio'.
I guess the exported file is not fully supported by the WD player,
Any ideas? How can I combine the two files into one and play it on the WD player?
Maybe I'm not exporting it correctly?
Please share your experience and help me out.
Thanks

Let me give you an optimum example of my last HD to DVD timing. The video was shot with two cameras under good lighting conditions and there was very little color correction required and only a few special effects. The finished video was 39 minutes (1.35 GB). The AME encoding time on my 8 core (2.33 GHz) with a really fast RAID 0 array was 36 minutes 48 seconds! If you start adding in a lot of color correction and lots of other effects encoding time does increase significantly. I am convinced that the DVD was of much better quality that had we shot it in SD. I have had problem shoots (lighting) that required vast amount of color correction etc. that required many hours of MPEG2 DVD encoding.
Incidentlly I do not export from Premiere (which uses the new copy of the Project on your C:drive), I close Premiere and open AME and use the much faster true project file on my RAID 0 array.

I want to open a file and play back by clicking play icon, but Audition doesn't react.

I've recently moved my computer with Windows 7 to Spain. Everything works fine, but not my Adobe Audition CS5.5. I want to open a file and click my play button, to play back the file, but Adobe doesn't react. Anybody know what could be wrong?

I would try checking your hardware setup to ensure that your playback device is selected and setup properly
From the main menu select Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware

Grab data from files and plot on same graph

Hello
I have written some code where I ask the user how many files he or she wants to open. These files contain data in 2D format and i want to output them on the same plot. I have tried bundling them into clusters and outputting them but it hasnt worked. Can someone look at the code and suggest some way around this. Thanks

I want the physical size of the array of file paths to change dynamically coz I do not know before hand how many plots I want to see.
I see.
Well, If you need to enter, say, 10 files in the path array, and only plot the first, say, 5 of them, then what you are doing is sensible.
But be aware that if you wire the array directly through the FOR loop, it will execute one loop for each file, and you don't have to use an INDEX operation, or the property node, or ask the user how many files he just entered.
I had done it like you had said
The file you attached was identical to the first file - I nsee no evidence that you changed anything.
Try my attached VI as a starting point.

My AppleTV will not play anything over Air Play. Every other function works perfectly, and my Internet/router are working at top speed. I can watch HD Netflix and YouTube but nothing via my iTunes library on my MacBook or iPad. All software is updated.

Every other function works perfectly, and my Internet/router are working at top speed. I can watch HD Netflix and YouTube but nothing via my iTunes library on my MacBook or iPad. All software is updated. The AppleTV will recognize that Air Play is trying to do it's thing, but with music files it sounds like they're skipping and video files just load endlessly.

I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

Cannot see file and folders copied from other windows 8

Hi everyone,
The problem is the next:
I have new PC for that i was asked to setup and install software, i perform on it clean windows 8 install, it have single HDD 1TB that was partitioned by regular windows setup option to system drive C: 100GB and all left space was partitioned as drive D:
After setup finish i only boot to system to check that everything is OK and without to make ANY change to windows shut it down.
I physically disconnect HDD from new PC and connect it via standard USB 3 docking device to my own PC that also run windows 8 i can see the new connected HDD with all partitions without any problem! Than i create on second partition on new drive folder and
copy there some files, after copy finished i disconnect the drive in safe way by performing "eject" option in windows.
i connect new drive back to new pc, boot to windows and access the second partition and it ... empty, no folder or files on drive, it also show like no space was used !!!
MOST IMPORTANT ! - Why it don't looks like security or permission or even hardware problem - NO any major security changes was performed on my own (old) PC, but most important fact when i connect other hdd to same dock station and create folder and copy some
files and then connect it to NEW PC - problem does not exist !!! i can see and access without any problem the folder and files on both PC's !
I also tried:
to reinstall windows on new pc
to create or delete partition after setup in both PC's
to check folder and drive permissions and adding "everyone" with "full control"
to turn on "show hidden files and folders" and "system files" too
to copy or create new different type files
Interesting - if i create a folder in NEW PC i can see this folder on OLD PC and copy files to it, but whet i connect drive back to NEW PC it sometimes show the folder have those files and even use the appropriate space and programs even try to open those files
without any security warnings but it cannot be open properly because files looks corrupted !
Thanks for any help !

Hi,
According to your description, I don't think this is system problem. More like HDD or its interface problem.
Have you tried to reconnect your new HDD to your own computer again after you copy some file to it but couldn't find anything on new computer. If there is problem in new PC, how about your own PC?
Please have a try, If there was any progress, feel free let us know.

When I open several Raw files and edit one, the others disappear

Sometimes I open numerous raw files simultaneously and they appear on the left in a sidebar. Then I choose one to edit and when finished the others have disappeared and I have to load them again. Is there a keystroke that will bring them back without entirely reloading? Are they still in PSE but hidden? This seems like peculiar and poor design. (Mac version)

Using Preview is quite simple. I open the group of files I want to view and edit. I select one and drag it on top of the PSE icon in the dock, and it opens in the PSE raw editor. When I've saved the file I simply click on the Preview dock icon to return to that app. and repeat the select-and-drag to PSE. Preview provides a full screen display of file icons for the files I want to edit, so it is quite quick and transparent.
I don't necessarily want to Open a file; I might simply Save it from the raw editor. If I have 10 raw files, five of which I want to edit and Open, 3 of which I don't want to edit, and 2 of which I want to Save within the raw editor, the simplicity you describe disappears. Using my Preview-to-PSE scheme, I work on one file at a time and dispose of it when done. I don't have to keep track of which file needs what disposition, as seems to be the case in the process you describe. Please correct me where I'm mistaken.

Call Audio On and Off with every other call

My wife both have the Samsung Intensity 3. We like the phones but every since getting them the call sound only comes on every other call whether going out or receiving. Even just yesterday I was stuck in the desert with limited reception and had to call 911 and the call sound wasn't on which was awful when I would only have sporatic 30 second windows of service.
This is my second new Samsung Intensity II after they replaced it 2 weeks ago and I don't know what the problem is. As I said, my wife has the exact same issue. And it happens everywhere we go not just at home.
I don't know what to do other than get another phone model.

No the sound comes back on. On the second attempt at calling the sound would be on. My previous device did not have this issue.
Since this problem was constant and we couldn’t any longer to resolve the issue we opted to get a different device. We switched to the LG Extravert and now the issue does not occur at all. The phone works exactly like it should.
So I don’t know why the Samsung Intensity III was having so many issues, especially after getting another new Intensity after the first one did the same thing.
